As soon as you walk in you get that speak easy vibe with hip hop, real hip hop. The lights are so fun with hanging candles. It was giving Harry potter vibes. :::bathroom alert::: Look as soon as I went into the elden ring bathroom I lost my mind. If you're a gamer you know what I am talking about. Fans of game of thrones, boy oh boy do they have a treat for you! A throne toliet, geeze I wish I had to poop at that point, lol. I went to the second bano to see what it was, I was not disappointed. For the wings, I wasnt too impressed to he honest. Very bready with white sauce, I've had better. The service was really fast, very pleased with that.

Had a great time and loved the space.

I thought it was just one a one off thing, but it turns out their burger is insanely salty too. It seems like they pre-salt their burger patties since the texture is kind of gummy? The alternative is to salt the patties during cooking to retain the structure and feel of a beef patty. The overall meal was a disappointment. I'll have to try it again the future. Maybe theres a different cook in the back. For the value of $18, it's not bad, but not great on the tastebuds.

I was walking around looking for some lunch and stumbled upon this nice corner pub…read more I would say it is 3-something stars, close to 4. However, I wasn't a fan of the service. When I walked in, there seemed to be just one person trying to care of things, so the wait was a bit longer than ideal. However, a second server eventually appeared. They do have awesome happy hour deals which include drinks and food from Monday through Friday, 11am to 7pm. Overall, it has a good spot to grab a beer, sip a cocktail, and snack on some small bites. I tried the Grilled Chicken Sandwich, and the chicken was juicy. I also like all the peppers and the flavorfulness of the aioli.

Easter day, New York City, corner pub, and sitting outside. A lot lines up on a nice afternoon like…read morethis. The beer battered codfish appealed to me. As much as a burger and a pub lineup well, for some reason, I went with the crowd fish. The fish was more of a prefab fish rather than something appearing fresh caught. The coleslaw was good, but you got such a small amount that it almost seemed not worth it. The french fries were good, they're on the soggy side, but I know some people like that.

The premise is simple: there is a burger for everyone, so eat well and eat everything. (#1) They've done a good job with the place, making so that seating is comfortable and functional while keeping the vibe casual. Their open space allows for a lot of natural light, which makes this an easy lunch destination or delivery option. The staff is active and young, constantly fielding orders from all directions. Their variety of burgers is second to none. From smashburgers to breakfast burgers and to heartier patties. I prefer a double patty with cheese and bacon with a healthy heap of fries. On the days ai feel indulgent, id combine it with a shake. Try a fry, eat some wings, and explore the different types of burgers thet have to offer. While most of the things feel pricey, know is the portions are on point. They've managed to survive and stay relevant in a neighborhood that doesn't do burgers well. ___________ (#1) Or maybe that's my slogan.

Very local bar vibes, and I absolutely love it. I've hung around Sunnyside many times before and…read moreI'm surprised I hadn't checked out the Lowery. They have a cool brunch special on the weekends, and it's a sizable bar/restaurant, where you can have your own events. All I had was a simple drink (red sangria) and fries but dangggg those were hella good fries! I sat by the bar and snacked while I watched the game that day. I definitely want to come back and try more of their menu.

The Lowery has the feel of an old-school pub, but contemporary dishes. The speck ham flatbread was…read morethe star of the show. Something about that sweet-and- salty mix from the fig jam with the ham & cheese is just top-tier. The calamari was on the crispier side. This is your warning--the Thai chilies are HOT.

Service was great--never had to flag down anyone for anything!

I love coming for happy hour, the buffalo wings are delicious. I don't know how to adequately describe them but they seem healthier than others I've had, less fried. If you like your wings crispy then they aren't for you but if you like them tender they're incredibly tasty. Indoor and outdoor seating, I still haven't gone to the rooftop. They always have some sports channel on so you can watch a game here. They also have wifi so you can eat and work. It exceeds my expectations for a restaurant in a hotel.

Takeout Gem in LIC -- BeeBees NYC…read more Just tried BeeBees NYC for takeout -- we got a margherita (7/10) and a cheese pizza (5.5/10), and both totally hit the spot. The crust was thin and crisp, the sauce had just the right balance (not too heavy), and even after a 15-minute trip, everything held up perfectly. It's rare to find takeout pizza that travels well and doesn't leave you feeling like trash after. For a solid, reliable pie in Long Island City, BeeBees is officially on the list. Highly recommend for your next takeout night. Ps - this is from a person who has tried 46 pizza places in NYC

Vegetarian friends... They have a VEGGIE BURGER option available and it's incredible!…read more I recently discovered that all 7th Street Burger restaurants have an Impossible Veggie Burger and, as someone who didn't even like "real" burgers back when I did eat meat, I'm thrilled to say that their veggie burger is wonderfully tasty! I always order mine without the pickles, however I recommend you don't skip the sauce as it's part of the magic! Their House Sauce is seriously so good that I always order 2-3 of them to dip my fries into. Just a heads up - the veggie burger is a bit on the small side compared to what you might be used to, however I think it's the perfect size! Especially since I always get fries to go with it. I recommend you download their app - not only is there a point system involved, but you can also easily order ahead via the app! I've done this a few times and it's a seamless process. Really glad I discovered the vegetarian burger here! Y'all will definitely be seeing more of me as time goes on. :)

I went with the Bolo Bun Cod Fish Burger with Wedge Fries, Salad and HK Milk Tea combo. Everything was freshly made. - Bolo Bun Cod Fish Burger: They are not skimpy with the cod! The burger has a big (almost as big as the bun!) and a small chunk of flaky Cod, coated in a crisp sturdy batter. The bolo added some sweetness, which went well in the burger. Most of the bolo is missing that flaky crisp bite, but that is the nature of making it into a sandwich. The edges were still crisp. - Wedges: fantastic! Crispy exterior, with a fluffy interior. The shape (looks like it is a thick spiral cut) lends well to that texture. - Salad: was fresh, with a non descript dressing. Added some greens and crunch (onions and pickled radish) to the meal. - HK Milk Tea: Great tea flavor and not too milky. There was a lot of ice though. Overall, a great quick spot to hit if you're in the area. I will have to try the fried pork cutlet next time!

Where blue-collar Cantonese lunch meets British influence.You MUST get the pulled (6+ times!) stocking Hong Kong Milk Tea (less ice). The cafe's version is actually much better than the C-pp- Tea shop (specializing in it) down the block. This tea is medium-strong and medium creamy (creamer & evaporated milk + sugar). I've had the Black Pepper Beef Noodles/ Spaghetti. The flavor and sauce was excellent & well seasoned. Lots of pepper and onion slices. I like the blend of Western spaghetti with the savory sauce. One issue was the thin-cut shaved beef in the dish. Seems like the chef folds it into the noodles because it cooks so fast, but I had a lot of underdone pieces which might have gotten me sick. I would order this dish again because the flavor was that good, but ask for the meat "well-done" or served on the side. Marathon Cafe is inside LIC Food Hall. The staff is kind & their design & packaging is creative and UX Friendly (Full-size utensils!) Lots of seating, strong A/C & restrooms in the basement.
